Got a puzzler ...

I have just created and manually entered (i.e. no data import!) a tree
comprising 138 individuals.

I would like to create a detailed ancestors report but on doing so I get
the message "Person I0306 is not in the database". Given that there are
only 138 this seems especially odd.

I have tried to find that person. And have not.

I have also run "check & repair database", "rebuild secondary indices"
and "remove unused objects". The first two reported nothing. The third
an unused birth event.

I have also quit and restarted GRAMPS. All to no avail.

Anyone able to get me over this?

Thanks in advance.

Re : Got a puzzler ...

Hi,

"Person I0306" was set into your config options for this report; maybe used with an other family tree.

See, value set into 'report_options.xml' into your gramps' user profile:
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GRAMPS_User_Directory

You just need to use an other person (id) for no more seen this I0306! Otherwise, the report selection logic has been improved on last releases. I guess that your are not using Gramps 3.3.1?

Same behavior might happen every time we need to select an ID on a report (ex: place reports, family lines, etc...), related to the opened Family Tree. Into a previous version, this has returned error/crash. I suppose a simple message which is warning us about this ID issue, sounds more user friendly.

Re: Re : Got a puzzler ...

Thanks for your instantaneous and spot on response.

But it's just one thing after another isn't it.

O.k. so found and changed the report_options.xml file ... and now when
I go to run the report I am told "You do not have permission to create
/media/New Volume/Tree/det_ancestor_report.txt".

AND I can't Cancel or "x" out of the report screen.

In an appropriately squeeky voice "h-e-l-p-!-!-!"

Oh! 3-3-0.1 if that matters ...

It does!

http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=5032

Try to find Gramps 3.3.1 for your distribution.

Or try to replace
{prefix}/share/gramps/gui/plug/_guioptions.py
by:
http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/branches/maintenance/gramps33/src/gui/plug/_guioptions.py

where {prefix} could be /usr or whatever prefix set by the packager for
gramps program.

This seems to be different things!

The first one sounds like a unmounted device /media/New Volume.

The second one lokks like related to the first one!
Can you cancel or close the report screen after closing the first error
dialog?

Re: Re : Got a puzzler ...

Hello. And thanks again.

I thought that the device was mounted ... but when I mounted it again,
sure enough it ran fine. So perhaps not.

As for the "Cancel" thing, I had not realized that the error window was
(still) open in the background and, sure enough, on closing it
Cancellation was indeed possible.

I'll see what I can do about 3.3.1 ... but meantime I am good to go.

Sorry for the bandwidth usage ... and thanks so much for your help.

A la prochaine.
